Failure isn’t always a bad thing. Without it, we wouldn’t learn, grow, or have nearly as many things to laugh at.
And if you need proof, just take a scroll through There Was An Attempt, the iconic subreddit dedicated to efforts that didn’t quite make it. It’s no stranger to Bored Panda, and for good reason—people keep failing in ways that are way too funny not to share.
So, enjoy this fresh batch of attempts that didn’t go as planned, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!
